Located in the south east of the city centre, Retiro is an affluent district of Madrid, famed for its stunning park of the same name (El Buen Retiro). This park is one of the largest in Madrid, complete with beautiful rose gardens, ponds and fountains. The Palacio de Cristal is an impressive structure made largely of glass. Its original function was as a greenhouse but it is now used to exhibit art.

The Retiro Park is a hub of activity throughout the year. Between May and October head to the bandstand each Sunday for a free concert by the Band Sinfónica de Madrid. Paddle around the lake on a rowing boat or keep the children entertained at a puppet show. It’s also the perfect place to keep fit in the open air as there are exercise areas for both the young and the old.

One of the most famous boulevards in Madrid, the Paseo del Prado, runs through Retiro. This pretty, tree-lined avenue is peppered with historical monuments and is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Here we also find the Prado Museum, the capital's main art museum, which features one of the world's finest collections of European art.

In Retiro there are bars and restaurants catering to everyone’s tastes, from traditional Spanish fare to Italian, Mexican and oriental cuisines. The area is well served by the Madrid metro system as well as the city's extensive bus network.
